[@krukerproductions]

That bean dude is amazing

[@krukerproductions]

mr. Bean

[@davidellinsworth22]

He's done so much work for charity. Great bloke

[@Ubnoxius]

that bean dude was so wes anderson omg, great episode

[@asystole_]

George: *takes photo* Cpt. Beany: I didn't feel a thing! Love this guy.

[@codycouture1]

Captain Beany is amazing. As soon as I saw him, I was like "They better get a portrait of him or I'm going to be mad". They turned out great. Another awesome video.

[@BetterThanYouAtSpace]

Always good to see that Captain Beany is still out there going strong 💪

[@quercus21]

I love how unexpected side trips often leads to the most interesting experience!

[@Traveljournalist]

the last landscape picture is amazing. only large format can produce this feeling.

[@abaddonnnnn]

I've never thought about doing film photography until now, I can't wait to learn more about it next semester. I love this channel!

[@jamesdecross1035]

Just discovered your channel. Some serious kit there! Love the experimentation. 11:25 is a really interesting shot. It speaks of the industrial heartlands. Great work.

[@daytoday6905]

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@jord5151]

Next time you come to Wales you need to visit the Gower. It's beautiful down there!

[@llChrisTjll]

I never would have guessed such an interesting character would have helped run a bean museum. Great work.

[@christoombes7875]

Great video and goes to prove that often the unexpected can prove to be the most enjoyable part of any road trip.

[@ralphcedricbasco278]

The quality of large format is just............

[@julianferguson9212]

Ralph Cedric Basco zmakes you bustanut

[@NeathVideos]

I am going up the mountain,this week,only live 8 miles away,as another subscriber mentioned. Tonnmawr is only a few miles away,you could have taken photos of RIchard Burtons,house where he was born,and the amazing viaduct .... Next time maybe 😀

[@Ashravenn]

You’ve inspired me to start shooting on film. I love all of your work.

[@george_edward_]

Revisiting this for inspiration. Miss you G ❤️

[@tkcinci]

I love that landscape at the end.

[@13DCR]

What a crazy episode on your channel :-)))))))))))))))))))) Great.

[@adamtown]

This might be my favorite video of yours yet.

[@Sergeantpaprika]

This was fantastic. Captain Beany’s such a cool dude

[@esgee3829]

this is amazing. good on your mates getting you to beanie.

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

Great video, one of your best. Guess it proves one should never be afraid to ask! Next time you're down here in South Wales, check out the National Museum here in Cardiff. David Hurn has given his collection of over 700 prints made by his fellow Magnum photographers, ones that have been swapped for his own over the years. It's an amazing collection, and part of the deal is that the National Museum now has a permanent photography gallery. The current batch showing features prints made my Robert Frank, Elliot Erwit, Bruce Davidson, Ian Berry, Phillip Jones Griffiths, Martin Parr, Henri Cartier Bresson, Sebastio Salagado, John Bulmer and many more. Current exhib's up until March, then it's a different collection of his based around women photographers. Thanks again! :)

[@TimDobbs]

Next time come 30 miles up the road to the beautiful Garw valley ... really enjoying this channel .. keep up the good work .. Tim

[@Hmmmook]

Damn, your composition is always on point, I’m going to start using my tripod more.

[@stuartbaines2843]

Great images at the time and still in 2021 👍

[@antoinedbf4307]

Some great shots in there ! nice story !

[@dennisschwartz3984]

Coughing on each other to mock someones camera hits differently in 2020

[@pepijnzuiderveld7045]

Love this episode!

[@FilmGarrett]

I can watch 8x10 videos all day

[@lorenlloyd182]

That is awesome your shooting large format. I believe Ansel Adams photographed Yosemite and many US landmark locations in that format.

[@Mr._Magee]

Great story, great pictures

[@agv1560]

Superb work mate!

[@jhoang861]

I know this is an old video but the portrait of Captain Beany using your flash is too cool. Maybe you can add a warm orange filter to your lens or on the flash so it will add warmest to the subject. ❤️

[@JulietHaas]

BEAN. He is a Gem 💎 Port Talbot delivers!

[@dpredie]

That sony shaming tho

[@MissMoffet19]

Man when Im looking at you walkin with that ridiculously large camera I feel so much better with myself because I used to carry my camera almost everywhere but for god sake that was canon 7D. Tripod is a tripod nonetheless whatever camera size is. Greetings form Poland. Fun to watch you shooting in travel

[@thevalleywalker]

Large Format Photography, Port Talbot Steel Works and the Bean Man ?? Essential viewing :)

[@SexyMustacheUnicorn]

best episode ever

[@sitsuj]

Such a good video. More please! :)

[@michalciepi]

Hi George - I recently watched all of your videos and they are truly inspiring! I really appreciate your style of shooting and actually all of your videos are pretty cool! I wanted to ask you if you maybe have a portfolio where you share all of the photos shown in you videos, would love to see them all! Keep on making this videos!

[@nero9978]

FUCKING HELL! I ONLY LIVE A MOUNTAIN AWAY FROM THERE! COME UP TONMAWR LADS!

[@cerealkiller4248]

It may look "bleak and miserable", it may be bleak and miserable, but the UK was built on the blood spilt from people from these places. Who in the Cotswold's would have tattoo'd their heads for a mere 3K towards a charitable cause, they would pull out a fat cheque book and give the same amount no issue, but that's the point, that's the difference between the rich and poor in this country. As already said in the comments, you were condescending towards the place and people of Port Talbot, they can't help being poor, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to go to university, they don't wish to be poor, it would have been a choice of mining/steelworks when they left school, both potentially deadly jobs. Please look at the link I posted, deaths are still happening in these communities. When this happened a few years ago, the people who I worked with spent all night making cups of tea for the police and rescuers, and lost a days pay the next day for their troubles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleision_Colliery_mining_accident This is the reality of living in Port Talbot and the surrounding areas, a job that can potentially kill you, the M4 motorway polluting the air, a motorway that was built literally in peoples gardens ( with no financial compensation ) and a steelworks pumping all sorts into the atmosphere ( you're lucky your car didn't have a layer of dust deposited on it overnight ). Out of all that misery breeds people like Captain Beany - god bless Captain Beany

[@RJPhotographics]

Nothing about that was condescending.

[@RJPhotographics]

@Jason Hall Appreciated. Wouldn't have heard the history of the place w/o the trip and CerealKiller's input.

[@absolutmax]

This was so good.

[@IainHC1]

Mr Been! What a fantastic man!! Real salt of the earth :-)I'll be going to see him too :-)

[@charlottemcnab7883]

oh my gosh!! francos and cafe remos are my smoky restaurants!!!

[@edmoore]

There's more of Captain Beanie in the Muchies Guide to Wales video, also on yt. Lovely guy.

[@MyekalBenham]

Love this. You sometimes have to trust trip advisor lol

[@6wermz]

Sometime what you find along the way is better then what you were looking for

[@GedMason]

The large format shots look great George, especially the first shot with the car. A scene many would walk past without giving a second thought and you made it look beautiful. Also loved the bean museum, that's the reward for doing the spontaneous things on a road trip.

[@NegativeFeedback]

Ged Mason thanks!

[@justcallmesando]

It´s like the beginning of a mockumentary ;)

[@ddaly20111993]

Aslan saying "Digital" like Smegul from the Hobbit had me rolling. lol

[@LaiN900]

that was amazing I freaking love Charlie so cute :3

[@charliereynolds]

ly2 bb

[@bexxxxxx]

excellent video

[@AleashaLove]

that Captin Beany guy was such a character. He reminded me of my grandad lol

[@jdouguspsa]

watched this like 10 times!!!!!

[@lagiator]

ok my question.. since the picture is upside down in the viewfinder, why ain't these cameras built to be mounted upside down so the picture in the viewfinder looks normal?

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

Nick Kapenkar if you flip the camera the picture will still be up side down.

[@joelkaswita1758]

because then the photo would be taken upside down, which I guess would be easy to flip in post but..

[@lagiator]

why is that?

[@Fjalll]

But when you flip a mirror it becomes upside down innit?

[@eatshrots]

I don't have a large format camera or lens, but I believe it's just 1 glass? I might be completely wrong. but to give you an idea.. if you've ever taken a magnifying glass where it just has one lens, and put it at a distance away from you, the image is flipped. get what im talking about? you can look up a video called "The Property of Camera Lenses" on youtube to look at the camera obscura and what its about

[@benburgis7039]

Great vid

[@ConstantThrowing]

Should have come up Townhill, butt.

[@coolman007ize]

seems like every welsh video you do, you are coming closer to where i live.

[@Cthulhu74700]

Ayy Mamiya 7 ! Long time no see

[@skaterat321]

How do you scan your 8x10 negatives?

[@bellyspb]

Shocking hat imo

[@DrunkDelilahBrewery]

Wow George, that 10 x 8 pic of the guy in orange (portrait) was almost 3D looking - are selling prints? Looked a great pic.

[@garrettb.4257]

That's because the subject in the foreground is a warm color while the background is cooler. It is a great way to make your picture 3D. I believe it's because we think of colder objects as farther away, think of how far away mountains are blue.

[@jackie987456321]

I love captain bean he was my favorite part of the video 😂

[@maximilianmckay5069]

Hi, just wondering what stock you used in the Mamiya?

[@1OnionHead1]

hi george, was your mamiya 7 loaded with 400h?

[@Nunyabidne55]

How you ganna bring a digital camera to be featured on negative feedback, charlie

[@AlanBrockImages]

ALWAYS shoot doubles!! :)

[@radicaleyemag]

This video was beantastic!

[@hobbitilius]

The bean man is incredible.

[@inkaststudio]

I have a feeling Mr. bean needed that hour notice for the sole purpose of getting into character 😂

[@movietheme]

Love it

[@uphillracer]

Your voice is really odd, I love it

[@floodfilms8253]

Hey i know its annoying when people do this, but i was inspired by George to make a photography vlog kind of video and id really appreciate it if you guys gave me some feedback and support! Been watching Negative Feedback for ages and i finally decided to make a video like theirs and i can say, it takes a lot longer then you'd expect. Ive got a new sense of respect for what they do! Keep up the good work.

[@izzybusyclips5331]

i just love how this all turned out hahaha lmao

[@omnesilere]

I can't help but find it funny what a Brit considers a mountain. Good work though, I enjoy your videos :)

[@anachronismic]

I like the thumbnail.

[@charlesc5837]

Do you scan your 8x10 film with an Epson V... Scanner, or do you have the opportunity to go by DrumScanner ? Thanks again for your NegativeFeedback ;)

[@NegativeFeedback]

Koll C I always scan with the v800 first, and then if I want to print bigger than 30”, or if I need better highlight retention. I’ll get a drum scan done.

[@charlesc5837]

Thank you for sharing this man

[@ExceptedLemon]

i live there !

[@SachAlvarez]

what a lad

[@TheVorbins]

As always great shots. Greeting from Ukraine

[@j17b8198]

Aye, Captain Beenie was on munchies guide to wales lol

[@120f_]

I NEED THAT BACKPACK GEORGE!! as a photo student my back, legs and neck are always in so much pain and I always have to hold my tripod :( hopefully it's not too expensive

[@NegativeFeedback]

120f f.64 XL

[@120f_]

Thank you :)

[@amosk24]

God bless Captain Beany

[@xella3525]

how do you shoot with that?

[@joshcarron6372]

Imagine if he shots these on 18mm film as well

[@CriticalTgaming]

Fucking beautiful experience

[@xxsonicxx5]

Your hat rules

[@megandavid2719]

How did you stumble upon my home town, so strange that I walk past these places every single day. When did this happen? Also I'm very sad to tell you that 1) you chose the wrong mountain and 2) technically the mountain you climbed is actually a hill. 3) My hometown is dire but I wish you'd have been able to witness a good sunset

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Someday, when I'm crazy famous and people hang on my every word, I'm going to state, I don't get VLOGS.

[@samvholt]

He missed a trick there, should have called himself Mr Bean 😂

[@michalczajkowski8798]

You lost all of the orange color ... you shouldn't use the flash!

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

George, or anyone where is the best place to buy a medium format camera? I want to shoot with one so bad

[@15ygo]

haven’t even watched the video yet but i know the photos are gonna be beautiful

[@StuartHerrington]

Yeah, but is he a Heinz man or a Branston

[@luciusliu9939]

nice hat

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Captain Bean and Mr. Bean are related, or rather they should become good friends!😂

[@MikeGrayFilm]

That Sony lol haha

[@MultitaskingGuy]

I found a Polaroid 900 land camera at a thrift store today
